Initially on your trek of the day you go down to the river where you have to cross the wooden bridge. After you cross the river now the trail goes uphill to Kari La Pass, 3145m which is quite tough to climb through the rhododendron and bamboo forest along the trail. Now you can see the Dudh Koshi River valley from here which is really beautiful to see. You will stay at Pngoma village for tonight which is based on farming and trading for the people’s daily lives.

Nigmsa is another beautiful village in which you will stay tonight. The rocky trail descends through the rhododendron forest. On the way to Nigmasa, you can see the mani walls along the trek trails. trekkers need to walk through the top of the hills and ridge from where you can see the south face of the Mera peak and some other peaks.

The trek starts with some climbing and descending the steep and rocky trails to Inkhu Khola valley. Now we can see a super view of the landscape through the dense forest which is very amazing. You need to cross the Chattra La at 4290m (La means pass in local languages). From the pass, you can see the iconic mountain view. It takes some more hours to Chhetra from the pass.

It is quite technical trails to the Mera peak base camp. The trails go through the icy glaciers, rocky trails and steep way to Mera peak base camp. You have to cross some small crevasses as well.

It is your big challenging day as well as very tough too. You will wake up around 2 o’clock in the morning and have breakfast before you start your climbing. The temperature would be very cold when you start. Initially, the climb is easier through the glaciers which are non-technical as you climb higher the air becomes thinner. At the bottom of the final steep summit part, you may use a fixed rope if the climbing guide believes that it is necessary. The last part of climbing is quite technical. After you submit the peak you can see the stunning views of the Mighty Himalayan range Mt. Everest (8,848 m), Cho-Oyu (8,210 m), Lhotse (8,516 m), Makalu (8,463 m), Kangchenjunga (8,586 m), Nuptse (7,855 m), Chamlang (7,319 m), Baruntse (7,129 m) and many other peaks. After achieving the goal you will return to Khare today for the night.

The weather is unpredictable, that is the reason why we keep a day for contingency purposes. If there is a day then we will have a better chance of submitting the climb.

You will return back to Kothe the same way that we used to go, Khare. The trails now go more downhill. You will leave the Himalayan scenery behind you and enter into the green forest area. Overnight at Kothe.
